In her own words

I have learned that what makes life most enjoyable is not what you are doing, but who you are with while you are doing it. Though I do enjoy anything that gets my adrenaline pumping and can be enjoyed outdoors (camping, hiking, rock climbing, cliff jumping, etc.), I also have a softer side that enjoys getting dressed up for a night on the town or keeping it low key by staying in with some good company. I'm looking for someone that shares my interests, but isn't afraid to bring something new to the table. Being adventurous, I am always open to expand my repertoire of hobbies.
My profile name is from the Ram Jam song, "Black Betty". It's a favorite of mine to listen to while being active. My taste in music is pretty eclectic and dictated by mood. Some of my faves are Old Crow Medicine Show, Devil Makes Three, Regina Spektor, Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon, The Everybodyfields, CCR, Hayes Carll etc. I also have a soft spot for ridiculous R&B from the 90's and early 2000's.
I'm a stereotypical girl from the northwest in that I like my microbrews good and hoppy (IPA), or dark and spunky (porter/stout)! As for the hard stuff, I'll either be your "whiskey girl", or let "you and tequila make me crazy". In other words, no cosmos or mojitos for me. But if you take me out, I wont end up stumbling home. I like a good drink, but I never go in search of the black-out-drunk experience.
I am spontaneous, yet organized; I run for shits 'n giggles, not breast cancer awareness; I enjoy a good romp in the mud, but feel at home in dresses; I love red bean mochi, but dislike most other ice cream; celery is my favorite food; I crave red meat, especially elk and bison; I have an adventurous food palate, but could eat Ethiopian food every meal; the chemist in me loves to cook and bake without following recipes; I have a random sense of humor - and often quote "Old Greg" or "Arrested Development"; I am a voracious reader and am always juggling a few books at once; I have a degree in Molecular Biology that I once thought would help me save the world, but now I help people move, eat and live better.
